How nueh 1yheat ,s Eater,

From Investigations begun by the writer
fve-and-twenty years ago, and from attention
to the subject frequently since, we estimate
that the average bread-eating American fam
ly usually consumes about one barrel of flour
(l96 lbs) for each person, II there Is tho ordi-
nary proportion Of adults. A barrel Of -four
makes 800 pounds Of bread, or 800 one-pound
loayes. This would be IS 1-6 ounces Of break
per day, per person, IL all The four~was used
In bread, which Is seldom the case. A year or
more ago, the Prairie Farmer asked Its OBJ
serving readers To give any figures they could
from their own family experience, particularly
those who kept an accurate account Of the
-four used. Many replies came and we would
like still more. Some put the estimate as low
as ITO pounds Of -FOUR per person; others gave
as high as $50 lbs to 400 lbs per person, espec-
tally in families composed mainly Of vigorous,
hard-working, hearty y-eating adults. The aver
age varied little from 200 lbs, or trifle above.
Formerly, 5 bushels Of wheat were reckoned
as an equivalent Of one barrel Of -four. I'M
provsments in milling produce barrel Of
foua from less than ~ bushels Of the best
wheat Farmer.

The Bismarck correspondent Of the Pioneer
Press says: ''The appropriation bill for ex-
penses Of railroad commissioners seems not to
have passed at all, at least it cannot be found
in the office Of the secretary Of state. The
Collins railroad bill provided an appropriation
for this purpose. After that bill was killed,
another was introduced In the house making
specific appropriation, but in the confusion Of
the closing hours It was lost In the council.
There is now no appropriation out Of which
the salaries and expenses of the commissioners
can be paid for the next two years, unless
they can be paid out Of the general fund.-

The Dakota legislature adjourned last Fri
day night, or rather at an early hour Saturday
morning. According to the dispatches, at 2:30
O'Clock Saturday morning Gov. Church in
formed the legislature that he would sign no
more bills, and both houses promptly ad-
journed. While it will not be denied that there
were many able men in both branches of the
legislature, to whom the people looked conf
IDENTIFY for some legislation Of a practical ma
ture for their relief, it must also be admitted
that no former body has more signally failed
iD reforming any Of the abuses OF which the
people justly complain. The most that can be
said in its favor is that Its Sins were rather
those of omission than those OF commission.
Nor was this due to the fault of the individual
members, many of whom labored asslduously
for the passage Of laws for the benefit Of the
people. But the fault lay in the impossibility
Of the members agreeing upon any definite
plan. Several bills embodying railroad legis-
lation were before the legislature, but after
much labor in committees and much discus
sion in the two houses in trying TO perfect
them, all failed. Upon one point, however,
the members seem to have been able to agree
the appropri ,tion of money out OF tile public
treasury. The amount appropriated for the
support of public institutions Of the territory
exceeds that appropriated by the Legislature OF
two years ago by some $lSa,000, while the ag-
gregated amount OF money appropriated Is
over $1,2OO,00O, and will, it is alleged, require
| an increase of the rate Of territorial taxa
tion. And had it not been for the firm
stand taken by Gov. Church, the presumption
is that the appropriations would have been
still more lavish. BUTT is all over, and for the
next two years the people may chew their cud

Among the bills passed is one allowing the
secretary to charge notaries IS for commits

will add large sum to tho income Of the gov:

Aikens, prominent republican. and was
passed in the house with but one dissenting
vote, and in the council without DIGESTION.
This certainly shows that the Legislature had

While nothing definite is known in regard
to tho matter, there is pretty general feeling
both among our own people and among some
Of the officials Of the Manitoba company that
the Hope branch in the near future is to be an
important link in the line between St. Paul
and Great Falls. The theory is that as soon as
the extension west from Minot to tho Missouri
river is completed, the Hope branch will be
extended in northwesterly direction striking
the Devils Lake extension at a point near
Rugby Junction, and will then become tho main
line for travel from St. Paul to Great Falls. 1t
is claimed that saving Of thirty to forty miles
would thus be effected. President Hill stated
few days ago iu conversation with several
gentlemen that he intended to build thousand
miles Of road this year, and it may be that he
will not find the time to extend the branch
this summer, but glance at the map will
convince any one that this would be the short
est and most direct route, and Mr.. Hill is too
shrewi a railroad man not to avail himself OF
every means that will save time and distance
on what will in time be another great trans
continental line.
